    Yup. Then they killed Diego Salcedo, an said "These fools ain't gods. These fools are just pasty fools!", and that was all she wrote for the poor Tainos. :(

    Here's an interesting fact, but absolutely useless for you :D
    I was born on 5. 5. 1993, and my brother was born on 8. 8. 1990. If you look at numbers, we are 3 years, 3 months and 3 days apart. Furthermore, we have two cousins; one born in 1996 and one in 1999. So each of us is 3 years older than the next one. It's also interesting that we all were born in the period of nine years, but still all of us were born in the 90's and not in two different decades. :D
    Haha I don't know why I didn't write this one before. :p
